[quote=Anonymous]How much is enough? I find it painful to watch a situation from the sidelines. There is a big age Gap. The older girl sibling genuinely cares for the younger one. Parents go out a lot, taking it for granted that the young will be cared for. For the most time this is ok. But it has become more frequent, older sibling has to cater for parents babysitting needs and parents do not allow her to refuse. A cruise vacation meant that the girl sibling had to be alone in the room with the younger when the parents were having fun, London vacation meant evenings alone in hotel room babysitting. Some weekends alone babysitting. Summer break meant being a summer camp for younger sibling instead of getting a part time job. Hanging out with friends has to be scheduled based on parents babysitting needs. No help from parents if she is not happy. Younger kid is acting like a brat Teenager tells me she doesn't have enough patience and feels guilty [/quote]
